The 1430LP features a durable resonite body, which mimics the look and feel of grenadilla and exhibits a warm, rich tonality on par with wooden instruments. The 1430LP will serve you well for years; it’s resistant to damage caused by temperature fluctuations, humidity, and the occasional drops and dings, and it requires minimal maintenance. The 1430LP features a nickel-plated mechanism with a unique post and plate key mounting and leather pads. This combination provides a consistent seal and a light touch to help advancing players master their fingering technique. Additionally, the low Eb key is mounted on the single-piece body to avoid having any keys extend over joints. The Selmer legacy of quality and innovation. Conservatory-trained clarinetist Henri Selmer founded Henri Selmer Paris in 1885. Fashioning reeds and mouthpieces in his small workshop, he soon took on instrument repair and modifications, which eventually led to the design and manufacture of clarinets. In 1900, Selmer opened a retail shop in New York (the beginnings of Selmer USA). As a musician himself, Selmer understood that you cannot separate the instrument from the artist, which is why every Selmer instrument is still individually tested and certified by the company’s team of professional musicians. Delivering exceptional value at every level, from student to professional, Selmer USA and Henri Selmer Paris offer a full line of woodwind and brass instruments. Sweetwater is proud to bring you Selmer’s rich legacy of quality and innovation. Selmer 1430LP Student Bb Bass Clarinet Features. Premium-quality student Bb bass clarinet with nickel-plated keys.
